• Man City pressure: Haaland was honest about life as City’s main centre-forward saying: “But again, as I said before, I’m the striker of City. I have to score goals. If not, they have to replace me.”
• Hating football: While Haaland might be a football fanatic, his girlfriend isn’t. He revealed: “Man Utd, West Ham is playing. Let’s put it on. My missus said, I’m so sick of football. We watch it all the time. And I’m like, yeah, that’s the reason why we are sitting here.”
• Pep Guardiola insight: On the City boss, Haaland admitted: “He’s the hardest working in the club. He’s the first one to come, the last one to leave and I think that also is what’s been taking him so far because of his hard work every single day. It’s dedication.”
• Dad influence: Haaland admitted he doesn't wear gloves because of his dad. He said: “ And also, you never see me playing with gloves. It’s because my father would hit me if I did. So I’m a bit old school as well. So that’s why I like it as well.”
• Why he opted for the Premier League: The Norway international explained: “Because in Norway, it’s the league we watch. Everyone in Norway’s got a team, you know… And also when my father played in Premier League, you kind of get dragged a bit into it, don’t you, I think.”

• YouTube channel: Explaining the thinking the behind starting his own YouTube channel, the 25-year-old revealed: “And that’s also a bit of the reason why I started because when I was young, or when I was younger, I’m still young, I remember always looking at things, following these people and looking what they’re doing and all of these kind of things in different situations.”
• Pressure as motivation: Haaland loves being under pressure, admitting: “No, I like the pressure and I also think I’m good at kind of I’m here, but just going beside myself and kind of look myself here and really like remind myself that okay, you’re actually playing for City in the Premier League. Pressure is one thing.”
